Background

WiMax or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access provides a robust, reliable, and cost-effective means to deliver broadband services in metropolitan and rural areas. Menatelecom deployed and managed a nationwide 802.16e-based mobile WiMAX and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The project aimed at delivering wireless broadband connectivity and advanced data services to both business and residential customers across the Kingdom. The evolution of Menatelecom’s WiMAX infrastructure and the need to pace up with the technological development required a competent partner. Motorola, an American multinational telecommunication company, was selected to deploy and manage this system and Irinatech, with its vast experience in the local telecommunication market, was chosen as the preferred contractor to Motorola to realise this goal.

Services

Irinatech was commissioned to handle the construction of mechanical and electrical works to include infrastructure for data centres and base transceiver station sites.

Irinatech constructed the passive element of the data centre from design to final commissioning for the AC/DC switchgear, structured cabling and rack installation, power distribution units, uninterrupted power supply systems, and back-up generators.
